describe the suppressive measure taken by the british administration to clamp dow on nationalist
Answers
The British took a number of steps to curb the nationalists,
such as -
1. In 1919, they passed the Rowlatt Act. It gave the power
to the Government to repress political activities in India. The Act permitted the
detention of political prisoners without trial for 2 years.
2. Whenever a mass movement was launched by the nationalists,
the British imposed martial law. For instance, the satyagrahis were humiliated
and flogged during the Rowlatt Satyagraha, Non-cooperation movement and the
Civil Disobedience movement. The
demonstrators were forced to crawl on the streets, rub their noses on the
ground, and do salaam to all the sahibs. The British even bombed certain areas.
3. The nationalist leaders of the mass movements were
arrested by the British and put behind the bars. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi,
Abdul Ghaffar Khan and other leaders were arrested during the Civil
Disobedience movement.
